This director lacks vision.

Chapter 226 Xiao Tian or Xiao Song
Four singles and two doubles, it's not that we can't invite them.

At least Fan Bingbing's side is fine.

Zhang Ziyi's situation is quite simple. After going through three major scandals, she has a terrible reputation in China and is currently at a low point in her career.

She has finished filming The Grandmaster and has taken on a new movie – Dangerous Liaisons.

If Jiang Yifeng invites Zhang Ziyi to participate in Sisters Who Make Waves at this time, she will definitely agree.

She needs a chance to turn her life around.

As for Xu Jinglei and Zhou Xun, they wouldn't be difficult to hire as long as the money is right.

Despite their glamorous appearances, female celebrities don't actually earn as much money each year as people imagine.

In particular, actors' salaries have only just increased and are not particularly high.

On the other hand, Li Binbin's situation might encounter some setbacks due to the involvement of competitor Huayi.

As for Zhao Yanzi, Jiang Yifeng himself was hesitant about whether to invite her to the show.

This person is very intelligent and has unparalleled popularity, so the show's entertainment value is guaranteed to be excellent.

Her performance in the first season of Chinese Restaurant showed that she completely outmaneuvered Huang Xiaoming.

This year, Painted Skin 2 started filming, and Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun were constantly at odds, with Yang Mi stirring things up in the middle. It was truly a major drama in the entertainment industry.

However, Zhao Yanzi has too many scandalous stories. If they really start fighting and go too far in terms of the content, it could affect the show.

There are many connections behind her.

This aspect still needs to be carefully considered.

Even Wen Lingfeng said, "There's no need to invite too many A-list actresses. I think inviting Fan Bingbing, Li Binbin, plus Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun would be enough."

The competition between Christmas, New Year's Day, and Ice Cream has already become quite a spectacle.

"Adding more would be a waste of resources, and the program's effect might not even be good."

"Well, we'll see when the time comes. Let's focus on living the life we've always wanted for now."

Under Jiang Yifeng's guidance, the various aspects of the "Back to the Countryside" project are progressing rapidly.

The role of the eldest brother in the show was ultimately decided to be played by Qiao Shan.

Qiao Shan has great comedic potential, and since he's been both thin and fat, there's plenty of material for jokes about weight loss.

Like Meng Ziyi, they are both from Northeast China, and the two chatted quite happily.

As for the younger sister, there are many applicants and the show is quite popular, so of course we should take this opportunity to promote her and increase the popularity of the show "Back to Field".

After a week of fermentation, on the morning of July 20th, Jiang Yifeng arrived at the Yishui Lake Resort Hotel.

Today, Fengxing Media is holding a public audition here to select the "Nation's Little Sister".

More than a dozen media outlets were invited to cover the event, creating a huge publicity campaign.

When Jiang Yifeng entered the audition room, there were already four people sitting inside: Mu Di, Huang Lei, Yan Min, and Wang Zhengyu.

Yan Min and Wang Zhengyu joined Fengxing Media's variety show department together at the beginning of this year.

The two were already good friends and were both talents that Jiang Yifeng admired, and both served as assistant directors on "The Big Band".

In this season of "Back to Field," Mu Di is only the nominal producer; the actual production is handled by Yan Min and Wang Zhengyu.

As the company's variety show department grew, Mu Di began to focus more on management, delegating specific program production to new directors.

This is also a normal development process for a company.

Moreover, the pairing of Yan Min and Wang Zhengyu was specially arranged by Jiang Yifeng.

Yan Min is known for not following the script and giving guests a lot of freedom to improvise. As a result, her "Extreme Challenge" has created many memorable moments.

Wang Zhengyu was the director of "Back to Field" in his previous life, and later worked on shows such as The Happiness Trio and Five Haha, so he has a great understanding of slow-paced variety shows.

One of them controls the pace of slow-paced variety shows, while the other encourages guests to improvise, making the life they yearn for even more exciting.

As for having Huang Lei serve as an audition judge, that was also Jiang Yifeng's arrangement.

On the one hand, Huang Lei is a very proactive person who likes to take charge and is very energetic, so it's good to let him do more things;
On the other hand, giving Huang Lei a higher level of treatment would allow him to quickly become arrogant and expose his preachy nature, thus making the program more effective.

Upon seeing Jiang Yifeng enter, all four of them stood up.

After chatting for a bit, Jiang Yifeng sat down in the middle.

Mu Di handed him a thick stack of documents and said, "Because there were so many applicants, there are still more than 70 candidates after the screening."

"so much?"

"Yes, quite a few of them are people with connections."

"Alright, I won't look at the information. Let's get to the audition quickly."

The first person to come in was someone with connections—Jiang Peiyao.

Although she is already 17 years old, which is obviously over the age limit, she has a good relationship with Gao Yuanyuan and is also very familiar with Jiang Yifeng.

Mu Di didn't dare to filter her out casually.

Jiang Yifeng didn't have this concern. After seeing Jiang Peiyao, he said directly, "This program is not suitable for you. Study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination."

Hearing Jiang Yifeng say that, Jiang Peiyao felt a little sad, but there was nothing she could do, so she had no choice but to leave.

Jiang Peiyao failed to capitalize on the immense popularity of Gao Yuanyuan, and her family opted for a low profile.

Now she has chosen the path of an art student, hoping to become famous, but she has found that she has missed her chance and that becoming famous is not so easy.

Jiang Peiyao came in after Jiang Yiyi.

This child is also too young, only 10 years old.

However, because she had acted in "Hunting" and had collaborated with Fengxing Media, Mu Di also gave her an interview.

Jiang Yifeng didn't say anything about this situation.

After all, society is based on personal relationships everywhere, and nepotism is the norm.

After Jiang Yiyi, a tall, beautiful girl named Guan Xiaotong entered.

Although she is only 14 years old, girls develop early, and Guan Xiaotong is already 1.7 meters tall.

She introduced herself, speaking with a strong Beijing accent.

This was the first time Jiang Yifeng had met Guan Xiaotong. He asked, "If you eat a dish that isn't very tasty, but the production team asks you to praise it as delicious, what would you say? It's best to be as casual as possible."

Guan Xiaotong thought for a moment, then said in a slightly exaggerated tone, "This dish is amazing! It's incredibly delicious!"

Hearing this thick Beijing accent, Huang Lei chuckled.

Jiang Yifeng remained expressionless and said, "Go down and wait for further instructions."

Guan Xiaotong looked at Jiang Yifeng and asked, "Is it over so quickly?" "It's over. Wait for our notification."

Guan Xiaotong then left reluctantly.

Mu Di's arrangement was to put the seeded players first.

After Guan Xiaotong came in, the original "national little sister," the genuine melancholic girl, Zhang Zifeng.

This person looks too dull and isn't the right age, so I'll pass on them immediately.

Next to enter was Zhang Xueying, also a child star who has appeared in many period dramas, but her overall performance was just average.

It didn't feel like what Jiang Yifeng wanted.

Jiang Yifeng's eyes lit up when contestant number 11, Song Zuer, came in.

The feeling he wanted was someone who looked sweet on the outside, but also a little mischievous, someone who was playful and naughty.

That's what makes the show interesting.

Without a doubt, Song Zuer had this feeling.

Her overall appearance is cute, but her philtrum is too short and her chin is slightly receding, which gives her a fierce look.

Moreover, Song Zuer has acting experience and is very natural in front of the camera.

The only drawback was that she was a bit reserved.

Before she went abroad to study, she was still a rather well-behaved girl.

But this isn't a big problem. The show has a script and lines, so just perform well.

Seeing Jiang Yifeng nod, Song Zuer was also very happy.

She was also very confident about today's audition.

According to Song Zuer, with her cousin Shu Chang's connections and her own image, she has a great chance of winning the title of "Nation's Little Sister".

Jiang Yifeng has basically confirmed that it is Song Zuer.

Especially when the next few dozen girls came in, none of them left a lasting impression.

By noon, when they had interviewed number 63, Huang Lei had started yawning.

Although Jiang Yifeng wasn't tired, he was getting a little weary after seeing so many beautiful girls.

He was just thinking about what to have for lunch when a surprise came his way.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, hello, judges. I am contestant number 63, Tian Qianwei. I am 14 years old and come from Chongqing."

Upon seeing Tian Qianwei, not only did Jiang Yifeng's eyes light up, but the other people in the audition room also sat up straight.

There's nothing else to it, but this girl's eyes are just too captivating.

Those big, bright eyes of hers are just as captivating as Zhao Yanzi's.

When she smiles, she has a lively and adorable charm.

Unfortunately, her eyes are very large, and her pupils are also large, causing her eyeballs to protrude slightly. In addition, the corners of her eyes are upturned, and there is a slight sclera showing.

It makes her look more than just sweet.

When he's not smiling, he exudes shrewdness and ruthlessness.

These eyes are very distinctive.

Jiang Yifeng asked, "What are your strengths? Briefly state two points."

Tian Qianwei was prepared for this question. She said, "I am strong and can endure hardship. People around me say I am like a boy."

"If I could be on the show, I'd definitely be willing to work; I'm a great source of labor!"

Jiang Yifeng then asked, "If someone hit you for no reason on the show, what would you do? Tell the truth."

Tian Qianwei hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I will fight back, I really will fight back."

She emphasized it again, showcasing the straightforward side of the Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Jiang Yifeng nodded. Tian Qianwei is also good; she has a free-spirited personality and is very suitable for the show.

Her appearance also gives off the feeling of a sweet girl on the surface but a villain on the inside. Jiang Yifeng calls her a sweet-hearted villain.

Among the many young actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry, Tian Qianwei is quite recognizable.

It's a pity she was born at the wrong time; in the future, sweet girls will dominate the Chinese entertainment industry, and there won't be any suitable scripts or roles.

Tian Qianwei's pursuit of a sweet and innocent image actually exposes her weaknesses.

Because her eyes are large and her eyeballs protrude a bit, sweet girl makeup doesn't suit her and might even make her face look a little strange.

If you're going for a cool, sophisticated look or a villainous, wicked style, leaving more blank space on your face in your makeup and styling will make your eyes look smaller and actually make you look more beautiful.

In addition, Tian Qianwei herself is very good at walking and can squeeze out some ripples of strength, making her a perfect sweet-natured villain.

This shape meets Jiang Yifeng's requirements.

So here's the question: this time, will the nation's little sister be chosen by Xiao Tian or Xiao Song?

Both women were suitable, but Jiang Yifeng himself couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Mu Di and the others for their opinions.

Unexpectedly, after discussion among the four judges, it also turned out to be a 2v2 match.

Huang Lei and Wang Zhengyu preferred Song Zuer, feeling she was more obedient and easier to cooperate with; Mu Di and Yan Min, on the other hand, preferred Tian Qianwei, feeling she had more room to perform and might bring some surprises.

Finally, Mu Di said, "President Jiang, if you publicly solicit 'national little sister' online and choose Song Zuer, netizens may question the inside story."

After all, Song Zuer is Shu Chang's cousin.

If we choose Tian Qianwei, who comes from a completely unknown background, netizens will praise our fairness.

They didn't even choose someone with connections; in the end, they chose an ordinary girl with no background.

In the future, when you publicly solicit actors or program guests, people will be even more enthusiastic about applying; that's what word-of-mouth is all about.

Mu Di's words made a lot of sense, and Jiang Yifeng adopted her suggestion, ultimately choosing Tian Qianwei.

Song Zuer was unaware that what she considered the most secure relationship was actually the main reason for her failure this time.

It just goes to show how unpredictable life can be.

After successfully completing the audition, Jiang Yifeng did not leave.

Zhang Chaoyang also came to Yishui Lake today. He challenged Jiang Yifeng to a fishing competition.

In addition, Jing Tian also returned to Yanjing.

Tonight is the finale of Pacific Rim, and Da Tian Tian is going to watch the finale with Jiang Yi Feng, and also give Jiang Yi Feng a surprise.
